Manchester United's manager, Michael Carrick, believes that despite being out-spent in the transfer market, his team can still match the traditional top six on the pitch. The club brought in three midfielders over the summer at a cost of around £150 million ($202m), but still spent less than several of their Premier League rivals, including Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. Carrick is 'largely happy' with his squad after the transfer deadline passed on Tuesday, and thinks the challenge is getting the right dynamics and balance within the team.
